Can I Move One Of My Gb Rams To....?

[Jozlyn]

Ok, I've come to the conclusion that both of my German Blue Rams are girls, both appear to have blue spangles in the black blotch and they hate each other!

So, can I move one of them to one of my other tanks? I have 1 10lt with Lawrence my Betta in it and 1 22lt with 33 1cm Dalmation Molly fry in it, would either of these be ok?

10lt isnt big enough for a blue ram and they dont get on with bettas

I wouldnt say ethier tank was big enough myself........

I have 2 blue rams in with my male fighter. They are fine together. But the 2 rams stick together and don't fight with anybody

How big is the tank?

How do you figure that?

I thought the general rule was minimum length 4 x fish length and width, 1.5 x fish length, even the 10lt is over those dimesions, given that at a maximum she'll only grow to 7cm

Its a 60L. Dont try and say that they will fight with eachother. Ive had the male fighter since he was 6mths old (original was sold as a female, cause his tail hadn't grown) The rams are in a pair, and the male ram chases the female occasionally. But thats the only "fighting" that occurs.

I can assure you I wouldn't say any such thing as I know less than nothing about cichlid/betta relationships.

I was mearly trying to save the life of one of my Rams by finding out which of the other two tanks would be most suitable for her. Unfortunately it looks as though I've left her in the main tank too long and I'm guessing she'll be dead by morning, given that she's sitting on top of the heater anchor puffing like a set of bellows. So it's all hypothetical now as by morning I'll only have one Ram left with no one to fight with

Update? How is she going?

She died during that night
